T-SQL calculating average time

Question

I have a problem with calculating average time. This is the case: i have multiple rows, in each row there is data in time format so I need to calculate an average time of all rows and multiply it with number of rows but of course I have a problem with data format because I need to multiply time with integer

Can somebody help me with some advice? thnx Here is some data:

NULL

so from this data a need average time or/and sum of that data

Answer 1

You should be able to use something similar to the following:

select 
  cast(cast(avg(cast(CAST(times as datetime) as float)) as datetime) as time) AvgTime,
  cast(cast(sum(cast(CAST(times as datetime) as float)) as datetime) as time) TotalTime
from yourtable;

See SQL Fiddle with Demo.

This converts the times data to a datetime, then a float so you can get the avg/sum, then you convert the value back to a datetime and finally a time
